out
sport in my life, and in my conscience 'tis not my
fault: Oh, for our Country Ladies! Here's one
boulted, I'le hound at her.
_Enter_ Galatea.
_Gal_. Your Grace!
_Pha_. Shall I not be a trouble?
_Gal_. Not to me Sir.
_Pha_. Nay, nay, you are too quick; by this sweet hand.
_Gal_. You'l be forsworn Sir, 'tis but an old glove. If you
